<p>Does anyone know where the libs team hosts their discussions? I couldn't find a <code>t-libs</code> channel on Discord. There is discussions here for stdarch and the allocators WG, but I couldn't find a general channel ala <a class="stream" data-stream-id="213817" href="/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang">#t-lang</a>.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="132920">@gnzlbg</span> I find this a bit concerning to be honest. Every other team has a dedicated discussion forum, both for people to come ask the teams questions and for members to discuss topics, having no meetings seems especially odd given that there's over 600 open issues and PRs tagged with the libs team and there seems to be no form of triage, even the community team has monthly meetings. Both these aspects makes the libs team appear overly closed off compared to every other team in terms of participation.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="219696">@XAMPPRocky</span> The libs team is more bandwidth-limited than most others currently -- a sync communication channel requires non-zero amounts of effort to maintain; if you need something specific then I can reach out if it helps and try and connect you with someone.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116122">@simulacrum</span> I don't mean a sync channel, I mean an async channel like a stream in zulip or a channel in discord. I would accept being bandwidth limited more if there was a clear way for people who are not in the libs team to help with that bandwidth constraint, however that is not the case so bandwidth being limited is a self fulfilling prophecy, people don't know how to participate and help, so no one does, so there's only a few individuals who can.</p>

<p>I don't think a channel would be the sole solution to this problem. The solution is to get more people involved, and in order to organise that kind of effort you need to place to communicate.</p>

<p>Okay, but what do we need to do get to the point that people feel like we're ready to get more people involved? That answer is dissatisfying to me because it feels like a stonewall.

<p>I think time, primarily, and probably some internal discussions -- I agree it's a stonewall, it's "intended" to be so, I'm afraid. I'm not really sure I can offer more guidance and we're heavily bandwidth limited right now</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="219696">@XAMPPRocky</span> I don't think that's a problem, every team chooses its own communication channels and what works best for the team.  The libs-team chooses to use github for everything, and I think that's quite approachable. The barrier of entry is definitely lower than requiring Zulip, Discord, or IRC.</p>

<p>Also it is not true that there is no progress in the issues tagged with libs-team, I regularly see FCPs being opened, discussions happening, and progress being made. You can check the FCPbot website to know what's being worked on right now.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="132920">@gnzlbg</span> GitHub is not a communication channel, unless there was a libs-team repo like how other teams and working groups use GitHub, we would not recommend people to ask their libs team questions by filing issues on <code>rust-lang/rust</code> for example. I never said there was no progress on T-libs issues, I said there's no triage so what issues do make progress feels arbitrary (Of course this is  not a problem that's unique to the libs team, but doesn't make it less of a problem.) Teams are free to organise however they want, however it's important that, that is done in an open fashion that allows for new contributors and team members. Through that lens the libs is probably the most closed team we have.</p>

<p>IIUC the way triage works is, if a team member thinks there should be progress in an issue, either they push the issue forward, of it it is ready, then FCP it.</p>
<p>If any user thinks an issue can make progress, they just ping the libs team. So far, they have been very responsive when I've pinged them.</p>

<p>That's pretty much how I understand this works for this particular team. Maybe they need a repo documenting their process (how to contact them, raise issues to their attention, ask questions, etc.), but I don't think there is anything intrinsically bad about their process per se.</p>

<p>If you want a specific example of how the current process has failed, you can look at <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1937" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1937">rfc#1937</a> and the fact that <code>Termination</code> requires <code>Debug</code> and not <code>Display</code>. There's been no real retrospective or change in the process as result of this and I'm not confident that this kind of mistake won't happen again.</p>

<p>For example, the RFC that you point to was mainly handled <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48854" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48854">by the lang-team</a>, which had a communication channel in Discord at the time. So its unclear to me how adding a similar communication channel for the libs team would prevent this particular issue.</p>
